* Cut over to the new (old) news system.


let me see if i can sum up what has happened.  please correct me if i am
wrong.

gimp has a completed web site which was put on hold until people could
 their things off from the old computer

gimp web team dis-assembles some to try to put together something for
 gimpcon2 in berlin at the ccc camp

the web site becomes disassembled by someone else for reasons that are
still not answered

the old working pieces do not get moved because the new head of the web
team was more respectful and simply disappeared (instead of having 
opinions and trouble and quitting)

everything waits for this new/gone yet not quit leader

now it is too late?

please fix this information.  i know it must be wrong.  it looks like
someone has been acting emotionally and not doing the right thing for
the wrong reasons.

The news was fixed last night. The contest will be worked on soon.

Please take the current contest down. It should be on www.gimp.org.

It seems that few people learned from the mistakes of the last contest.
Once again, it is slashdotted. The framework on wgo was designed to
handle that load. Wikis aren't.

Why did nobody wait for any real input? (remember, there was a holiday
weekend in the US that just finished). This is shameful.
